A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: “I am blind, please help.” There were only a few coins in the h  1. .

A man was w  2.  by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, wrote some words on the other side of it. Then he put the sign back s__3.__ that everyone who walked by would see the new words.

Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot m  4.  people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had c  5. the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, “Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?”

The man said, “I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a d  6.  way.”

【解析】

试题分析：本文讲述了一位路人为一名盲童改牌子，从而导致两种截然不同效果的故事。

1.根据前面的A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet可知，此处应该填hat。

2.根据文章的意思，和下文的everyone who walked by 可知，本处应该是一个人经过，根据前面的was可知，应该是过去进行时，故填walking。

3.根据前后句的关系可知，本句应该是表示目的的，根据后面的that可推知，应该是so ，与that连用，表示“为了，以便”。所以本题填so。

4.根据后面的people可知，此处应该是修饰people的，且是表示数量的词，根据前面的a lot可知应该填more。a lot more表示“许多，更多”。

5.根据下文可知，这个人就是改牌子的那个人，故应该填changed。

6.根据题干，本句的意思是“我只是用不同的方式说了你说的话。”“不同的”是different。

7.根据前句的关系，应该表示转折，故用but。本句的意思是“今天是个好天气，但我却看不到。”

8.通过下文对两个牌子进行了比较可知，此处应该用both。本句的意思是“当然两个牌子都能告诉人们孩子是个盲人。”

9.根据题干，本句的意思是“第一个牌子，只是简单的告诉人们孩子的个盲人”“单一的”是simple。

10.本句的意思是“第二个牌子告诉人们，他们很幸运。”故填lucky。
